Bridging the Gaps byLoving, Serving, LivingLike Jesus

Bridging the gaps means reaching out to those in need beyond the walls of the church, in both the local and the global community. These are programs that St. Paul's supports with gifts and with service.

Lewisburg Council of ChurchesThe Lewisburg Council of Churches is an ecumenical group of Christian servants who organize and support many ministries throughout the year. St. Paul’s is one of the many congregations in Lewisburg which comprise this organization. The Council oversees The Eastern Union County Supplemental Food Program, housed in First Baptist Church, which distributes food to several hundred of our neighbors based on financial need the first and third Friday of each month. Also, an Emergency Food Bank is housed at Christ Lutheran Church, and provides food for those who experience an emergent need. The Council organizes financial resources for transients who find themselves in town and in need of funding for gas, transportation, or a night’s lodging. The Council also oversees Soup and Scripture each Lent, which provides physical and spiritual food for those who gather each Wednesday during the weeks of Lent each spring. Also, an ecumenical Good Friday Worship Service is sponsored by the Council and led by pastors within the Lewisburg Ministerium. And each fall, the Council and Ministerium organize the Lewisburg Area CROP Walk which unites us with the millions of our neighbors, both locally and globally, who are in need of the most basics of life: clean water, food, and shelter.
